Topaz, Go Ask Jing Yuan to Sell You the Divine Foresight
"Belobog's integrity is indeed admirable, but unfortunately, according to certain company regulations, this debt may not be so easy to settle."
The Aventurine, who had just been clapping, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Gwen's actions. His beautiful eyes gleamed with a peculiar light as he gazed intently at Gwen.
"Whatever, if you don't take it now, you won't get any later."
Soon, Belobog, built by the builders, will cease to exist as a political entity.
The civilization that will illuminate this planet will be the United Kingdom of Britain and Belobog.
I'm reorganizing things. Take it or leave it!
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Gwen's words, Aventurine's eyes lit up.
"The main restructuring is indeed a good idea, after all, this is a mess, but if it is not handled properly, it may still leave some hyenas with an excuse to tear it apart."
Aventurine seemed to be alluding to something, and Topaz pursed his lips, not interrupting what could be considered a veiled attack on the company.
"Oh...
"Then let them come."
Gwen shrugged, his expression casual, showing no sign of worry about being attacked and torn apart by the Interstellar Peace Company, a commercial behemoth entrenched in the cosmos.
"Back in the Epsilon Galaxy, those bastards really didn't provide me with any fun. I want to see if the company's proper fleet can pose a challenge."
Choosing to resolve this mess peacefully doesn't mean I, Ge, am too weak to fight; it simply means I'm still prepared for things to develop smoothly.
If they don't appreciate your kindness... then let's see whose knife is harder.
"Your fighting prowess is indeed remarkable, but... the company is not as simple as you think."
Aventurine's tone became somewhat flippant, seemingly offering well-intentioned advice, yet also appearing to be adding fuel to the fire, and perhaps even mocking someone who wasn't there—
"Starfleet is just a relatively conventional method."
In addition, the company also possesses high-caliber individual combat capabilities.
"Coincidentally, I also want to see who is more durable, the true strongman in the universe or that dead bug."
Gwen's tone remained firm, his gaze fixed intently on the Aventurine, as if trying to discern what the gambler was trying to say.
"But you are ultimately fighting alone; two fists cannot fight four hands."
The light in his Aventurine eyes shone even brighter, but he still feigned regret.
"Hehe...
"Let's see who has more people and the upper hand."
Gwen grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, and an invisible flame flickered in his eyes—
"If you're so capable, call Amber King over. I also want to see just how strong the Star God really is."
"What courage!"
As Topaz frowned, seemingly about to interrupt Aventurine's dangerous statement, Aventurine cheered and clapped enthusiastically.
"Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario."
If you can handle the aftermath properly, your preparations will be more than enough to easily cope with this crisis.
Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone in the conference room, Aventurine, who had been sitting casually and calmly on his fishing platform, suddenly stood up and bowed to Gwen.
His actions were so respectful that he didn't seem like a renowned company executive at all; rather, he sounded like a nervous job seeker. His words took an even more dramatic turn, and he began to offer his services without warning.
"At this point, you may need an experienced financial expert."
I am not particularly talented, but I happen to have some experience in this area. Would you be so kind as to give me a chance?
"..."
Looking at the Aventurine that hadn't gotten up for a long time, Gwen's question was answered.
"Oh...
The people in your company really know how to have fun!
Since that's the case, let's discuss it in detail...
Mr. Aventurine. "
"Extremely lucky."
Aventurine looked up, his face full of sincere smiles, but unlike before, it didn't give off a feeling of daggers hidden in his smile; it was full of genuine sincerity.
"It's like he's become a completely different person."
As the famous prophet Miss March 7th from a certain Stellaris Train commented.
"This guy..."
Topaz, who knew more about Aventurine, sighed in exasperation, but still chose to clean up the mess for him.
"Your Great Guardian, Your Majesty the Queen, would you be willing to let me explain the company's debt model?"
Chapter 897 Topaz, go find Jing Yuan and buy the Divine Monarch.
Gwen talked about the Aventurine for most of the day, but the conversation about the Yaliluo VI ended quickly with little discussion of the final points.
After that, Aventurine told Gwen the story of the Evigener, followed by a series of coded messages full of metaphors and allusions, which really made Gwen lose a lot of brain cells.
Fortunately, Gwyn's ability to mimic Otto's thought process allowed him to Gwen understand the meaning behind the Aventurine's words.
It's almost certain that Oswald from the Market Development Department was the one who plotted against us and you. That idiot schemed against my old colleague Topaz in order to get my boss, Diamond, and then he plotted against you too.
That idiot did so many rotten things that resulted in children being born without an anus, which is enough to incur the wrath of both heaven and man. There are quite a few orphans and enemies like me.
If one day in the future we unlucky folks ever succeed, I hope you can lend a hand, even if it's just to give that bastard a little trouble. I'll thank you for eight generations of your ancestors...
Even though he already knew that Aventurine was a gambler who liked to risk big for small gains, Gwen's expression was still slightly strange after deciphering the meaning behind those words.
I risked being beaten half to death by Ge, who might have a bad temper, by provoking him with words, just to test his attitude towards the company...
All he could say was that it certainly fit the personality of Aventurine gambler.
As for what the Aventurine wanted, Gwen's response was also vague. In short, until the dust settled, all he could guarantee was support beyond actual assistance.
Gwen had no doubt that once he agreed, this gambler would dare to pull off something amazing for him.
However, compared to Gwen's ambiguity, Aventurine's attitude was quite proactive, treating Gwen as a top-tier client in many business matters related to the company.
When the two, who had been having a pleasant conversation, parted ways, Gwen saw another figure in the lobby of the Goethe Grand Hotel.
"Oh...
It seems my colleague has something else he wants to discuss with you, so I won't take up any more of your valuable time.
Aventurine glanced at Topaz, his smile regaining the flippant tone he had shown when they first met.
Upon seeing Gwen and Aventurine appear, Topaz, who had been drinking tea there for over an hour, immediately stood up. Seeing Aventurine merely smile and wave before turning and leaving, Topaz sighed helplessly and apologized to Gwen—
"I'm sorry, Gwen, I'm sorry that the words and actions of the Aventurine may have caused you some trouble."
"Oh...
Miss Topaz may have misunderstood something; he and I had a very pleasant conversation.
Gwen smiled, looking at Topaz with interest—
The other party is waiting for him here, probably not entirely for the Aventurine.
"That would be perfect."
Hearing this answer that he had already guessed, Topaz breathed a huge sigh of relief, and a perfectly appropriate smile appeared on his face.
Do you have any free time right now?
If possible, I'd also like to have a chat with you—
I am also deeply curious about you, the hero who saved the faint Core Flame on this planet.
As she spoke, a hint of admiration seemed to creep into the smile on Topaz's face.
"... Oh, of course."
Gwen nodded and returned to the private room with Topaz.
As Topaz said, she was indeed very curious about Gwen and asked many questions, some about Gwen himself and some about the planet.
Sensing Gwen's reluctance to answer certain questions, Topaz didn't press the issue. Instead, he naturally changed the subject, talking about his hometown, eventually bringing up an old topic again—
"So I hope you can sell that device."
Having already been genuinely moved when recounting his homeland's story earlier, Topaz looked at Gwen with sincere eyes, without mentioning anything that sounded morally manipulative, such as helping more suffering planets.
Everything had been explained beforehand, and bringing it up again would only annoy people. Topaz could only hope that his sincerity would move Gwen.
Topaz's honesty was indeed beyond Gwen's expectations. She even told him in detail about her past in the game's background, even though it might cause her a lot of trouble, all for the sake of purchasing the Fourth Divine Key.
To this end, Topaz even suggested that he could ask his superior, Diamond, the Preservation Emanator, to increase Gwen's share of the profits to a level that exceeded the regulations.
However, faced with Topaz's sincerity, Gwen could only sigh and shake his head—
"...
Miss Elena, your sincerity is truly touching.
Unfortunately, as mentioned before, that device involves my personal secrets and is also an important cornerstone of my civilization.
I will not consider selling it or its copies until I have made sure everything is perfectly prepared.
"..."
Upon hearing this, even knowing that things couldn't always go as planned, Topaz's eyes couldn't help but dim slightly, and she even asked somewhat uncomfortably—
"Real..."
"At least not now."
Gwen refused before Topaz could speak—
"I must take responsibility for the civilization I protect—"
There is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter. Even if you could persuade General Jing Yuan Xianzhou Luofu to sell his 'Divine Firmament Thunder Palace Commander, the Heavenly Lord Who Drives Thunder and Lightning to Purify Demons and Sweep Away Impurities,' it would be impossible.
"..."
Hearing Gwen's words, which left no room for negotiation, Topaz, after a moment of disappointment, astutely grasped the key point in his words—
"And what about the future?"
"Future?"
Seeing that Topaz understood his meaning, Gwen smiled and nodded.
"Once its secret weight level decreases, I will naturally be willing to help more planets in need."
"If that day ever comes, please contact me immediately, and I will try my best to get you the best possible deal."
Topaz knew this was the best result he could get, and said without hesitation.
"On this point, perhaps your dear colleague, Mr. Aventurine, will be your rival."
Gwen shrugged, his smile relaxed.
"Oh...
Even if it's him, I won't show him the slightest mercy.
Topaz didn't hesitate at all; who else could do it but him?
"Then we'll see which of your proposals is better."
Gwen laughed.
After saying goodbye to Topaz, it was already late at night in Belobog. Gwen didn't bother anyone else and quietly left.
Back at the brightly lit Space Station, Gwen's eyes met those of Asta on the sofa—
"You're back?"
Has the matter been resolved?
The girl walked briskly to Gwen's side, helped him hang his coat on the hanger, and asked expectantly—
She was the one who helped Gwen research the information before, so she knew the ins and outs of the matter. However, she had never contacted Gwen to ask him for details because she was worried about bothering him.
